We are developing an inquiry-based physics course for prospective elementary and middle school teachers that integrates physics and literacy learning. By integrating physics and literacy learning, we mean learning to speak clearly, listen closely, write coherently, read with comprehension, and make and critique media resources such as the Internet. Features of the course include documenting initial and current thinking with diagnostic questions, teaching writing and reading strategies explicitly, involving friends and family members in assignments, including readings written by teachers with examples of integrating science and literacy learning, and constructing documentary websites in class.

We redesigned a GE biology course by using existing web-based software to replace traditional wet labs. Two new modes of lab instruction were compared to the traditional offering: (1) all labs online with a "drop-by" help center and (2) a hybrid "flipped lab" model with two tracks of online and in-person labs alternating every week. Both modes included a face-to-face lecture. Engaging inquiry-based exercises were developed around each online activity where students are provided background information, guided though a series of basic experiments, encouraged to design their own experiments, and required to produce a simple scientific report that is delivered electronically. A rubric was designed so that graduate assistants can grade reports. The course offerings with online labs were piloted during the 2013/14 academic year. Formative assessment involved the tracking of students’ attitudes and performance. Summative assessment compared student performance for the online, hybrid and traditional modes.

This site offers users the opportunity to take a brief quiz that assesses the extent of their "ecological footprint," which is the extent to which their daily life practices affect the earth. The quiz is available in 6 languages. Results tell users how many planets would be necessary to support all human beings living at the user’s current standard of living. The site also offers an opportunity to virtually set aside part of the planet for wildlife/plant diversity to examine how that affects possible standards of living for human beings. After users receive the quiz results, they can also read suggestions for a range of ways they can reduce their ecological footprint, from the everyday to the political.
